1. PCs are cheaper than Macs, hardware wise, so if you compare them at price-point, Windows will probably still come out on top. 2gb ram on a PC is probably cheaper than 1gb ram on a Mac. 2. There's a "Classic View" option on the side of the control panel that allows you to see "Add/Remove Programs" Microsoft does have a bit of an analogy to the American car industry - viruses are like the autoworkers unions. Microsoft users need to run antivirus software most of the time (though it's changing because of beefed up security within windows and windows finally not running everything as root), and it's like how American car companies pay $3000 more per car because American workers are more expensive.

"2gb ram on a PC is probably cheaper than 1gb ram on a Mac." No such difference if you swap yourself. Actually I got a used 1gb ram from a Mac and installed it on a PC.

  Truth. Still, every other component of the Mac is more expensive, and in the end ($2000-mac + $20) > ($1000-similarly-spec'd-pc + $20)

>1. PCs are cheaper than Macs, hardware wise, so if you compare them at price-point, Windows will probably still come out on top. 2gb ram on a PC is probably cheaper than 1gb ram on a Mac. Maybe you haven't heard, but Macs use Intel chipsets now. RAM is RAM. The 90% of the mac faithful that have actually bought a mac before switcher ads know that you never buy RAM from Apple. And let's avoid the price-point argument because it can really go either way depending on what you're doing and what you're looking for. >2. There's a "Classic View" option on the side of the control panel that allows you to see "Add/Remove Programs" FAIL. I was using classic view. Its not called "Add/Remove Programs" anymore. I even fired up my Vista Business VHD image on my XP workstation to double check...and yup....FAIL UI still FAILs at UI. The control panel is called "Programs and Features". Also, your analogy makes no sense whatsoever. GM is billing for pensions and obligations it agreed to shoulder in good faith, but never funded, because it assumed it would never faulter in terms of revenue, and thus, it would have the income to pay out those obligations at a later date. Unions are about 3% of the problem. Bad Design and Bad Management are the other insignificant 97%.
